I've had to leave my passport at the various embassies/ immigration authorities when getting my work visas done for the places I've lived in. So kinda sorta expecting it for this too. BUT... because they seem a bit more disorganized, it's bit of a nail-biting experience!Skippettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01150011417758604923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6418358680523005996.post-23575883802834282732010-10-21T20:33:48.670+02:002010-10-21T20:33:48.670+02:00Pictures of you in the rain suit when you finally ...Pictures of you in the rain suit when you finally get it please.<br /><br />I dropped off my visa application today.

And a "Dutch Large" - the pants came up to my boobs. AND! On top of that, it cost 30 Euros. SERIOUSLY?!? That's quite a bit for a plastic suit that doesn't fit that I don't even like. I didn't get it in the end. Pfffft.

I was going to say with pride that it was made in the US, since it has an Eddy Bauer brand logo and I bought it at Target. So I checked the label. No, it's made in , badumpa, China. haha.<br />Cheers,<br />ArturoArturohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10971352220152467379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6418358680523005996.post-36131919082552130792010-10-20T23:34:36.798+02:002010-10-20T23:34:36.798+02:00Thanks, Jaime, cybershala support makes a huge dif...Thanks, Jaime, cybershala support makes a huge difference to me! much gratitude to you, my friend. I'm dreaming of Maui in April, but waiting to see if my girl wants to come, and how finances look over the next couple months. I'm teaching a couple of big workshops in a few weeks, so if those go well, I should be set.Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04476916210693346720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6418358680523005996.post-74732987607927393092010-10-20T21:04:57.426+02:002010-10-20T21:04:57.426+02:00Sorry Claudia - I meant to say that he said "...Sorry Claudia - I meant to say that he said "so what if he/ she is NOT authourized".Skippettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01150011417758604923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6418358680523005996.post-62796674283175639372010-10-20T21:03:35.410+02:002010-10-20T21:03:35.410+02:00Claudia - you're right. If more people go and ...Claudia - you're right. If more people go and ask for it, maybe they'll continue with mysore classes on Tue/ Thu/ Sun too. It's this one: astanga.nl They're not authourized/ certified teachers and er... to be honest, I was being a bit snobby about it at first. Oops. But fuckit, who cares? A teacher's a teacher. (An old teacher of mine who is authorized once said: as long as the teacher has a daily, regular practice, that's what counts. So what if he/ she is certified or authourized? At the time I thought "easy for you to say, you're authourized already!" HA.)<br /><br />Dom - I had every intention of sucking it up and buying said Fugly suit today. BUT... They're SOLD OUT!! ALL OVER!! I think the Universe is telling me: Nuh-uh. Purchase of ugly things is not allowed. HAHA. So now, I will be drenched. I don't even own an umbrella. <br /><br />Fran - R.E.S.P.E.C.T. to you for doing a home practice for so long. It's HARD WORK! Always so happy to hear when you're off on a workshop though. Are you gonna do NG in Hawaii? :) :) :)Skippettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01150011417758604923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6418358680523005996.post-14249024069862142342010-10-20T19:33:48.384+02:002010-10-20T19:33:48.384+02:00welcome to my world & sorry you're here.
...welcome to my world & sorry you're here. <br />well not exactly, as you do have a shala option and I don't waah waah waah. <br />I try not to waste too much time wondering what I and my practice would be like with regular support and guidance. And I definitely struggle at times with motivation. I try to get to a teacher at least once every few months, but that means traveling, taking time off, etc.<br /> I do - almost always - get on the mat, but sometimes have to reeeeaallyy coax myself all the way through. And not always successfully. Whereas if I were surrounded by other Ashtangis, and had a teacher roaming around, I don't think I'd dare give up. And there's the morphic field to help, too. But - this is my world and I'm grateful for all that I learn on my mat, including my own limitations. Ahimsa<br />Agree with Dom: you *must* post photos when you get your rain gear!Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04476916210693346720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6418358680523005996.post-827114910897667462010-10-20T19:11:59.067+02:002010-10-20T19:11:59.067+02:00Oh dear I can't believe you're buying one ...Oh dear I can't believe you're buying one of those rain suits!

I would sooo go for it, then again, sorry I am totally projecting... But my feeling is that very soon they will have the 6xweek thing going, I have a hunch that tells me that people from Amsterdam will love the Mysore thing, and it will pick up quickly .... Time will tell... What is the name of the studio by the way?Claudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06609779915009954933noreply@blogger.com
